1. Дорние До 24 е немска тримоторна летяща лодка от 30-те години на миналия век, проектирана от Dornier Flugzeugwerke за морски патрул и търсене и спасяване. Според записите на Dornier, около 12 000 души са били спасени от Do 24s по време на летателната си кариера. Общо 279 са построени сред няколко фабрики от 1937 до 1945 година.

A Dutch Design with a German Heart

1. Дорние До 24 was an exceptionally seaworthy flying boat originally designed for the Dutch Naval Air Service (MLD) to protect the East Indies. When Germany occupied the Netherlands in 1940, production continued for the Luftwaffe. It became famous for its incredible durability in rough water, often landing in heavy seas to rescue downed airmen that other flying boats could not reach. It was so successful that it remained in service for decades after the war, notably with the Spanish Air Force for Search and Rescue (SAR).

Unique Maritime Engineering

  • The “Sponson” Stability: Instead of using wing-mounted floats that could easily break in rough waves, Dornier used “stub-wings” or sponsons protruding from the hull. These provided lateral stability on the water and acted as boarding platforms for rescued crews.
  • Triple-Engine Reliability: The three engines were mounted on a parasol wing high above the fuselage to keep the propellers clear of sea spray. The center engine was positioned slightly higher than the outer two to further reduce water ingestion during takeoff.
  • The “Two-Step” Hull: The underside of the fuselage featured a sophisticated “stepped” design. This broke the suction of the water during takeoff, allowing the heavy boat to “unstick” and transition to flight much faster in choppy conditions.
  • Broad-Tail Fin: The twin-tail design was specifically chosen to provide excellent directional control during water taxiing and to remain clear of the heavy engine exhaust and wake.

Combat Service & Humanitarian Legacy

  • 1. Seenotdienst: During WWII, the Do 24 was the backbone of the German Sea Rescue Service. It is estimated that Do 24 crews rescued over 12,000 airmen from the sea throughout the conflict, often operating under fire.
  • Spanish Service: Spain operated the Do 24 until the late 1960s. Their aircraft were painted in bright yellow and green “SAR” colors and were legendary among Mediterranean sailors for their ability to land in almost any weather.
  • The Do 24 ATT: In the early 1980s, a surviving hull was fitted with modern turboprop engines and a new wing. This “Amphibian Technology Testbed” (ATT) proved the timeless efficiency of the original hull design.
  • Seaworthiness: While the American PBY Catalina was more numerous, many historians and pilots consider the Do 24 to be the finest open-ocean flying boat ever built due to its superior hull strength and rough-water handling.
